🌌 UDS : Unlimited Drive Storage

Store files in Google Docs without counting against your quota.

sorry @ the guys from google internal forums who are looking at this

Development on a web-based JS version has started here.

Note: After June 1st 2021, starting June 1, 2021, Google will count Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms and Jamboard files against the user's storage quota.

Features

Upload files to Google Drive without using storage space
Download any stored files to your computer

Logic

Google Docs take up 0 bytes of quota in your Google Drive
Split up binary files into Google Docs, with base64 encoded text
Size of the encoded file is always larger than the original. Base64 encodes binary data to a ratio of about 4:3.
A single google doc can store about a million characters. This is around 710KB of base64 encoded data.
Some experiments with multi-threading the uploads, but there was no significant performance increase.

Setup & Authentication

Clone the Repository and setup the requirements pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Head to Google's API page and enable the Drive API
Download the configuration file as 'client_secret.json' to the UDS directory
Run python3 uds.py or ./uds.py for initial set up
